Black Lives Matters and the moon signs
UPDATE: Hey y’all thank you so much for the love <3 I’m not using this account much, but if you like my posts, please consider checking out my YouTube tarot account The Siren of the Sun Oracle
I am south asian and this is meant for non-black activists. The fight is far from over and here are some ways the signs can help the cause long-term, you should also check for your sun, rising, and mars signs.
Quick note: Everyone should support the movement in the ways they can, there’s so much you can do from signing petitions, donating to organizations, shopping in black owned businesses, volunteering your time to organizations, protesting, and so many other ways. I thought it would be interesting to make an action plan for how everyone can contribute, based on their moon sign. Of course you should help in all ways you can but I was trying to highlight your strengths and how you might most successfully help. Let me know what you think!
Aries moon: I’ve noticed that so many politicians have Aries moon and I think this is because you guys love, and are great, in leadership roles. If your school, college, or region doesn’t have a black lives matter chapter, consider starting a chapter. I think Aries moon would be best in vocal roles where they can clearly tell people why they support black lives matters and can clearly support politicians. I think you guys would be a great help in campaigning, taking to social media to show your support, and write blogs or articles to explain the need for this movement. Do research on politicians who vocally support black lives matters, look into what your council members have been saying so you know who you can support. Really consider joining a campaign for a politician you support and when we can go outside again, consider hosting info sessions and meeting with potential voters to get support for your politicians.
Taurus moon: I think of Taurus moons as doers, as relentless workers, and so I think you would be great helpers to the organizations such as ACLU, Equal Justice Initiative, Black Lives Matters, mutual aid funds etc. If you can’t go outside, I think you would be a great remote volunteer for the ACLU People Power, where you can spread information by call, text, and translate information for people to support the ACLU. Also, consider making master-posts with information and resources, because I know you guys can make very visually pleasing ones that are also easy to navigate. If you can leave the house, I think you could be very helpful as an on-ground volunteer that can navigate resources for protestors. Consider starting a book club where you read books by black authors about the black experience, or read books about privilege, the black lives matters movement, etc. (just google for it, you can find amazing reading lists) and hold discussions to discuss how you can be a good supporter.
Gemini moon: Similarly to Aries moon, I think you guys would be amazing activists by vocally showing your activism through social media -- let’s be real, you are probably already big on social media -- and by doing research on the history and writing articles about the need for black lives matters. If you haven’t already, watch documentaries like 13th read some of the recommended books like Between the World and Me (just google for more recommended readings and documentaries). Take to social media and vocally support black community leaders, black owned businesses and art, and research and post possible black business alternatives to currently used companies that exploit prisoners with prison-industrial complex. A lot of gemini moons I know are artists, so consider writing about and making art for the black lives matters movement, and maybe selling art and donating some of the money to organizations.
Cancer moon: I swear, you are some of the kindest people in the world, and you can use this to your advantage by talking to your racist family and friends to explain what’s happening and why they should be supportive as well. Do your research by watching documentaries like 13th and reading some of the recommended books like Between the World and Me (just google for more recommended readings and documentaries). I can see you successfully fight your racist friends and family members with so much evidence and logic that they have nothing to do but give in, and I think you’d do it in such a nice way people won’t shut down. In the same way, I think you’d be great on social media, I can see you successfully explain to people why the protests are needed etc. and doing it in a nice way that the conversations don’t lead to fights. Also, as cancer moons, I know how much your family and home space means to you, so you may be interested in learning more about systematic housing discrimination and be interested in joining grassroots organizations and supporting politicians who care about finding solutions to these issues.
Leo moon: I’ve noticed that a lot of you guys are interested in the arts, and especially interested in film. Consider hosting over-zoom movie sessions where you watch movies and documentaries about the black experience, black lives matter movement, privilege etc. and having discussions afterwards. You may also be very interested in self-care and skincare products, so consider researching black owned makeup, skincare, apothecaries and pharmacies that you can share with your friends and followers on social media. Consider writing a blog post, article, or twitter thread about possible beauty care alternatives because I swear, you guys are the RULERS of self-care. If you can attend protests, I can see you guys playing music and dancing in protests and helping to keep the morale high. Also, be vocal about your support for the movement, because whether you’re being vocal on social media or with your family and friends, those who know you, listen to what you have to say. Keep bombarding your social media with support for BLM because you may lose some followers, but really, do you want to have those followers in your page in the first place?
Virgo moon: Consider volunteering for organizations such as the ACLU people power and other grass-roots movements, where you can spread information and help these organizations function in an orderly manner. I think a lot of you guys have spent a lot of time developing a routine for yourself and finding ways to be neat, and I think it will be very appreciated by these organizations to have volunteers that can help them function. There are a lot of volunteers to some of these organizations, and it can be so difficult to keep order, but I can see you loving an organization and continuing to volunteer there for years and years, helping the organization’s work flow and new volunteers with your years of expertise. If you are not already doing research for living, consider doing research and writing about the history and the necessity of the black lives matters movement. I think one of the most complicated issues that a lot of people have a difficult time understanding is the public health crisis, how and why black and brown communities are more disparately effected by crisis such as the Covid-19, than other communities. As virgo moons are great at analyzing and writing, and I noticed that a lot of virgo moons are also interested in health issues in general, I think this is some important research you can do and simplify. If you are twitter, consider making a thread with information you find, it will be very appreciated.
Libra moon: Your presence is so calming and harmonious, if you can get out, I think you guys would be amazing at the protests, where you can provide snacks, first-aid, water and other goods to protestors. If you are a law student or legal worker, consider getting training to become a legal observer so that you can provide legal protection to protestors. You will likely be very interested in shopping in black owned vintage shops, high fashion, and jewelry shops. A lot of libra moons I know are very interested in the arts, and you can take to social media to amplify the voices of black artists and community members. I’ve noticed that a lot of libra moons are interested in working with children and care a lot about youth, so maybe consider learning more about education reform and decolonizing the curriculum, and look into how you can act as a mentor to black and brown youth. There are many programs that are centered around mentoring black and brown youth to passing high school and getting into college, so consider joining one of these programs.
Scorpio moon: Continuously write letters and emails to your council members, mayors, governors, and senators. If you can, get out there and protest because with your creativity, I know your posters and signs will not be missed. I swear your intuition is just insane, I think you guys would be amazing at outing racists and holding people accountable for what they say on social media. I’ve also noticed that many scorpio moons are interested in the arts and film especially, so perhaps consider hosting over-zoom movie sessions where you watch documentaries about the black experience and black lives matters, where you can also hold discussions afterwords. If you can come forward and discuss your privilege during these sessions, or really any other time you talk with your friends and family, they will listen because anyone that knows you, will know that you will end their whole career if they don’t listen to you. As I can see you discussing culture and arts with your friends and acquaintances, I think you’d also be interested in researching the strong influences black artists and musicians had to our culture as well.
Sagittarius moon: Did you know you could use your credit card or travel reward points to donate to black lives matter organizations, like through JustGiving. Google this to learn more but we both know you have so many travel reward points. If you can go out, get out there and protest because I swear, no one has as much energy as you. I can see you, sag moons, making very interesting protest signs. I can see you playing music and dancing in the streets to keep up morale during protests. Also, you know you’d love shopping at a black owned vintage, etsy, thrift store for you and your friends. You can also take to social media to spread factual information about protests and what’s really happening because you guys have like a million acquaintances. As the eternal student, I think you guys in particular may also be interested in learning more about systematic racism in education and decolonizing the school curriculum, and may be interested in joining grass-root organizations for these issues.
Capricorn moon: I swear no one can find deals like you, and so I think you would be amazing researching possible black owned business alternatives to exploitive companies that follow a prison-industrial complex. Also, let’s be real, I am yet to meet a cap moon that doesn’t enjoy retail therapy. I think you would love doing some shopping at black owned book shops, vintage shops, etc. and letting your friends and family know about these awesome businesses. If you are interested in writing-- from rambling on social media to writing in a blog-- I can see you writing very informative blogs and articles about why we should transition from using these companies that use prisoner labor to small businesses. I think you can write in a very clear way that shows anyone how the logical thing to do is to shop in small businesses. Also, as cap moons, I think a lot of you likely spent a lot of time thinking about (stressing over tbh) what job you want and what you need to do, so I think researching systematic hiring discrimination is something that will interest you, you can join grass-root movements, reach out to politicians, and do research on these issues.
Aquarius moon: I think you are probably already subscribed to ACLU, change.com and gofundme, and honestly, I am yet to meet another aqua moon who isn’t a strong activist for some cause. I think aqua moons would love joining ACLU’s people power volunteers, where they can remotely call, text, and translate important information to send people. Or really consider volunteering for grass-root movements, if you are a student, consider joining and starting a black lives matters chapter is your schools and colleges. As you the humanitarian, you may also be interested in long term criminal defense reform and should look into volunteering for a grass-roots movement focused on this major issue. If you are a law student or legal worker, consider getting training to become a NLG legal observer so that you can fight to protect the rights of protestors. Even if you’re not in the legal profession, I think you are probably not a stranger to debates, so honestly, consider going on social media and just outing racists and holding people accountable for what they say-- I think you’d be great at it.
Pisces moon: As the artists, I can see you creating art of any type and using profit from your art to donate to organizations. If you can, your sweetness would be very appreciated in protests, I can see you, pisces moons, gathering donations and buying snacks, first-aid kits, water and providing other necessities to the protestors in the streets. I can see you playing music and trying to keep morale up in the streets. I can also see you hosting and joining zoom book clubs where you read books by black authors, or books about privilege-- and of course, the books can be from black owned bookstores. When you shop, you should check out black owned herbal shops and spiritual shops because let’s be real, you are always looking for crystals. You are no stranger to being vulnerable, and I think it would be very impactful if you have conversations with your family members about your privileges.
